Chapter 13
The spacious and gorgeous living room of King Xuan's Mansion
The hall was filled with all kinds of cakes and fruit plates. Lang Kangzhe was wearing a black python robe and was talking with people. Sitting opposite him, he was dressed in purple and gold palace attire, just like Mo Ziyou, Princess of Xiling.
Lang Kangzhe said earnestly, "Uncle, can you answer my question?"
Mo Ziyou: "Father said that Princess Xiling can only marry Lord Tianlang. Before the matter is settled, it's not certain who will be in power. He can't agree."
Lang Kangzhe's expression changed, and he said angrily, "What does this mean? Xiling is unwilling to help me?!"
Mo Ziyou: "Don't worry, you and I have been friends for generations, who can help if you don't help me? The emperor said, you are the one he chose, and if you make trouble, he will definitely support you, but now, the crown prince is still the same. Sitting on top of you, the throne is not yet in our hands, but if there is a slight risk, our marriage cannot be held."
Mo Ziyou put down the teacup in his hand, and said calmly, "What's the matter, but are you in a hurry?"
Lang Kangzhe calmed down, narrowed his long and narrow eyes, and smiled, "Why, I just miss you and want to marry you in sooner."
"I'll be yours sooner or later, so why worry? Is there anyone in Tianlang who is more suitable to be an emperor than you?" Mozi said softly, but the connotation was extremely sharp. "You and I are the ones who plan the world. Compared with marriage, this country's hegemony is much more important. The priority cannot be reversed. When the world is yours, I will naturally be yours."
Speaking of belonging, Lang Kangzhe felt warm and encouraged when he said it from a proud and beautiful woman like Mo Ziyou.For a moment, the man's desire to conquer and the sense of glory were hit invisibly, and he felt a surge of pride in his heart.
He nodded seriously: "Of course I understand." Turning to thinking about something, Lang Kangzhe frowned again and said coldly: "But at present, the prince is still better than me in terms of strength. The emperor's reliance, every time I don't give this king a good face in the court, I will let them dig their own eyes sooner or later, I only blame them for being blind and following the wrong person!"
Mo Ziyou: "What do you think?"
Lang Kangzhe: "I plan to start with the right minister. If I want to compete with the crown prince, those ministers who are as shrewd as ghosts still have a few tough bones to chew on."
Mo Ziyou nodded: "I don't care what method you use, as long as you become Emperor Tianlang, I will use Xiling as a dowry and marry you as a queen in a grand manner. I don't care about other things."
"What I admire most about Mo'er is that you are not as passionate about love as other women. You only have power in your eyes, and you only like the strong." Lang Kangzhe looked at her obsessively, and stretched out his hand for her He straightened a strand of hair, tenderness appeared in his eyes. "Mo'er just needs to wait patiently for my good news."
After Lang Kangzhe finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "I heard that you have been getting close to Xiao Shi recently?"
Mo Ziyou raised his eyebrows, and thoughts flashed in his eyes. "Your brother? Yes."
"You don't like him, do you?" Lang Kangzhe stared at Mozi's beautiful side face with dark eyes, wondering what he was thinking. "Little Shi is handsome and handsome, so it's not surprising that he likes him."
"Oh, you two brothers do look alike, you love to test me when you don't move." Mo Ziyou sneered, "Your younger brother has a withdrawn personality, is cold and blunt, and is very suspicious. I don't like being troubled , ran to post his stubborn stubble."
Lang Kangzhe laughed loudly when he heard the words, "Little Shi usually doesn't like to talk, and he acts more cautiously." Then he added tea to Mo Ziyou as if to please him, "I know you are going to test, his loyalty to me Mo'er has worked so hard, how can this king not appreciate it? How, do you have confidence in him now?"
"Your younger brother is a dead-headed one. He has no interest in this palace or the throne, which is really rare."
"Haha, that's natural." Lang Kangzhe smiled heartily, as if he had understood it a long time ago. "It is impossible for him to have unreasonable thoughts about you, otherwise, this king would not dare to let you get too close to him. You can rest assured about this."
"Oh? Is there something you didn't tell me?" Mo Ziyou's eyes flickered, he cast a deep glance at him, and asked.
Lang Kangzhe smiled mysteriously: "Secret."
The two were chatting when the butler Qi Xu knocked on the door and came in to report.
"My lord, my princess, His Highness Prince Ye is here to visit—"
"What a coincidence," Lang Kangzhe said with a smile, "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here."
Butler Qi withdrew, and there were only three people left in the living room.
"After the death of a guard last night, the talk of monsters in the East Palace has intensified today. Killing people under the watchful eyes of many guards, this "monster" is very capable, and it is quite frightening."
"I've heard about the East Palace." Lang Kangzhe smiled confidently, "I didn't plan this, and I was just wondering."
"Yinshi is looking for third brother today to discuss this matter." Seeing Mo Ziyou sitting beside him in a serious state, Lang Yinshi was a little surprised when he remembered that the two had only been separated for two hours.
Should I say it directly?He glanced at Mo Ziyou worriedly.
Lang Kangzhe reassured: "It's okay, Mo'er is your future sister-in-law, she knows our plan, and the family doesn't have to hide what they say."
Lang Yinshi felt that Lang Kangzhe's attitude of complete trust in Mo Ziyou was not advisable. He did not say that Mo Ziyou was a bad person, but the time had not yet come, and it was not safe to reveal everything to Xiling too early.But he couldn't comment on Lang Kangzhe's choice.
He simply said bluntly, "Last night I went to the East Palace to investigate the case, and I saw that "monster" with my own eyes. She pretended to be a court lady, and made a lot of noise, waiting for an opportunity to kill. The method is not unusual, it should be some kind of rare poison or medicine, It may have entered the body through silver needles or other methods, so there are no wounds on the corpse, and it looks like a crime committed by evil spirits."
"On the way to track her down, I fell victim to her poisonous fan and accidentally lost it, but the woman should still be in the palace."
"It's very interesting, and I don't know which force is playing tricks in the dark?" Lang Kangzhe narrowed his eyes, "It chose the prince to attack, which saved me a lot of energy."
"Since the target is the crown prince, before the East Palace is messed up, we will definitely not stop committing crimes because of strengthened guards. This matter will not be settled easily."
"Hmm..." Lang Kangzhe thought about it.
"What benefits can you gain by making the East Palace a mess?" Mo Ziyou asked, "If you talk about superstition, it means that the prince is possessed by evil spirits and contaminated with dirty things. It's over. It's impossible for the emperor to dismiss the prince because of this, this method is a bit childish."
Lang Yinshi: "I don't know their specific intentions. However, my father hates the theory of evil spirits, magic and Taoist priests very much. When the Supreme Emperor was alive, due to excessive superstition, the palace was full of smog. After the father came to the throne, , Temples and Taoist temples of this kind of demons and ghosts have been eliminated throughout the country."
"Besides, the prince has always been superstitious under the influence of the Supreme Emperor. Regarding this point, the emperor has criticized him many times. Connecting the prince with a monster will definitely annoy the emperor."
"It's just that the father is not a fool, and he would probably guess that someone is playing tricks behind his back." Lang Kangzhe added, "By doing this, the crown prince's position cannot be shaken at all."
Lang Yinshi nodded: "That's right, so I imagined that it would be more beneficial for us if we used the haunting incident to expose the embarrassing things in the Empress's womb."
Mo Ziyou understood his meaning almost immediately, and smiled lightly while sitting in his seat.
Lang Kangzhe asked: "You mean the palace lady fell into the well?"
"What kind of disturbance will a palace lady fall into the well?" Lang Yinshi asked rhetorically. "Father, would you care about the life of a court lady?"
Lang Kangzhe suddenly realized, "You mean...?"
"The crown prince may be innocent, but once some things happen in the East Palace, it is difficult to clear up." Mo Ziyou explained, "Why don't King Xuan use this to add fuel to the flames, add some seasonings to it, and let this haunted matter be cleared?" become more palatable."
Lang Yinshi glanced at her silently, Mo Ziyou took this glance as a compliment, and returned a faint smile.
"Hahaha! That's how it is!" Lang Kangzhe smiled openly, and repeatedly called out wonderfully, "It's so wonderful!"
"Leave this matter to me. It's not difficult to find something that my father taboos. Little Shi, little Shi, others think I'm greedy for your military power, so they try to win you over in every possible way. They underestimate me. Kang Zhe, I don’t know you too well, your mind is what I value most! Military power, huh, what’s that?!” Lang Kang Zhe got up and patted Lang Yin Shi’s shoulder with a look of great importance. , "You can rest assured to follow third brother, the world will be ours one day!"
Lang Yinshi said indifferently, "Third brother has the ability to know the world, Yin Shi is only a counselor at best, and since third brother has an idea, Yin Shi will stop disturbing him and go back first." After finishing speaking, he bowed his hands and saluted, and left up.
Lang Kangzhe's face was full of joy, but he was still stuck in the idea of how to blame him.
Mo Ziyou turned her gaze to Lang Yinshi's leaving back. She couldn't help thinking that if Lang Yinshi really wanted to intervene in the matter of seizing the heir, he might not necessarily lose to anyone, even his brother Lang Kangzhe.
But this person just doesn't want to be emperor.
Even with his wisdom, he clearly knows the truth that when the bird is exhausted, the bow is hidden, and the rabbit is dead.If one day, Lang Kangzhe really became the emperor, Lang Yinshi might not be able to protect himself and retreat unscathed.
But why even so, you still do nothing?
The author has something to say:
Gong Dou's explanation is quite tiring, so I'll think about it and see if there are other ways of explanation...
